Here are my first thoughts from St Francis Of Assisi Catholic School. So far I LOVE IT. It feels great to be in a Catholic School and the decision has been the right one for sure.
My NE/Y1 Class of 11 are very sweet and they are very wide eyed and keen to learn. One of the boys is having a bit of trouble settling and his behaviour can be defiant at times. I have tried some management strategies including the usual, praising other children for making good choices etc, sticker charts, choices for him and the (so far) most effective one of the quick fire incentive chart where he needs to make four good choices and he gets Darth Vader (of all the things) for an instant"reward" (for want of a better word). Anyway, the up shot is that it works sometimes and other times it doesn't work so well. I feel he needs to get to know me a bit more and he will settle down. I do think he has an underlying issue and his mum agrees and has started the process of getting him assessed essentially.
